A couple of years ago Coldplay was possibly one of the most popular alternative rock bands around the world, but even then I didn’t really like them because I was into much more hardcore music at the time. It took me a couple more years and the decline in …

Wow! What can I say? This music video in my opinion is one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. It’s just so unique and fun and it’s everything. First of all, WOW! I could never in a million years thought that this would be the type of …

In their sophomore effort “Room on Fire”, The Strokes pick up about where things left off. Carrying over from their first album, Gordon Rafael’s decidedly low-fi production (a la Magnetic Fields, Guided By Voices) blends Julian Casablanca’s vocals over the ever-present dueling guitars of Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond, …

Around The Fur is the Deftones second album, released in 1997, again produced by Terry Date. The band has stated the meaning of Around The Fur is something thats not bad, but not good around the fur. My Own Summer is one of the best songs ever, the song …

While skimming through this website I came across a couple of reviews of the Top 10 Best Grateful Dead Songs of all time. Even though there is truly no right top 10 list, I was inspired to right this after seeing someone post the track list from Skeletons …

Ever heard of Jack’s Mannequin? You should have. Not because of rising popularity or the fact that the band recently accompanied Plain White T’s and Panic! At The Disco on tour, but because of the melodic, piano-filled tracks that fill debut album “Everything in Transit”. Jack’s Mannequin brings a …

Seeing The Real You At Last is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Empire Burlesque. The track opens up with a bit played primarily by horns and outside instrumentation which I really don’t associate with Bob Dylan and that I personally don’t really like hearing …

This album is a very interesting record. I would not even say that it is a good or strong record as such, but it is surely pretty interesting to listen to. This record, which appears very early in their career, shows how heavy and experimental this band is. Even …

Overview - Live/Dead is the first live album put out by The Grateful Dead and it certainly allows fans and listeners to get a glimpse into what a live Dead show is like. I’m not sure about other people, but I know the first thing that I noticed when …

After aimlessly traipsing through the back of muddy woodland Stanley Park for just under two hours one would surmise that standing in the rain another few hours listening to a band whose album 100th Window mostly contained minimal loops and a dark delve into classical music, would be torturous. …

I very clearly remember the first time I heard “Vision of Love” on the radio. I heard those first few notes on my local radio station and stopped everything I was doing. I just listened. I remember thinking at first it was Whitney Houston but then …

Bon Jovi, who did not know them? Although I just know about their music and songs in the 2000’s. For first time I listen to their songs so, I love them.
Bon Jovi has sold around 120 million albums in all around the world from 11 studio albums. …

This album was released very recently - just on the 17th of April. I am a huge fan of all of Dar Williams’ music, but, although I had very high expectations, I was not at all disappointed.
As with all of this unique singer songwriter’s music, each song is completely …

World Long Gone is a song by Scars On Broadway, and I believe the second single released for this record, which appears on their self-titled debut album. One thing I’ll say about World Long Gone right now is that the main riff of the song is probably the best …

Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology Of A Saturday) is a song by the Flaming Lips and the fifth track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Taking on a slightly more rock sound than the two preceding tracks on this record, Gingerale Afternoon establishes a pretty catchy …

I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …

I came across this song on MySpace and was quite drawn to the singer. She has a tone that kind of reminded me of Amy Winehouse, but without all the gravel in her voice. The song’s lyrics kind of confused me at first. But then …

I became a Green Day fan as soon as I heard one or two singles from their 2004 hit album “American Idiot.” I liked the anger and almost rage they expressed, and the hard-rocking style was something that impressed me when many other groups began putting out more —˜gentle’ …

We’re In This Together is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track opens up with a pretty light synthesizer part but soon a very dark and much heavier rhythm replaces this light feeling and the song establishes this very dark mood …

It is about two neighbors, one being a boy and the other a girl. The boy is pretty popular; he is on the football team. The girl is kind …

As a lady, listening to Reunion by Black Sabbath takes a good amount of courage from me, I have to say. I was given this track as a birthday present last year and I’ve yet to find out who the “mystery” user was up till now. The …

A great album that gave Rush its 80s style, sound and looks was the release of Moving Pictures. This album features a more radio friendly format with Hits such as Tom Sawyer co written by Max Webster. It originated from a soundcheck jam when Geddy Lee was messing around …

Derek is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their record Strawberry Jam. Opening with a sound that returns the band to the usual sound that was present on Strawberry Feels with the exception of the previous track, Cuckoo Cuckoo, Derek has an incredibly gentle …

This is my favorite song and the best rap and hip hop sounds I have to listen. I love the rap, the supreme melody and how the lyrics are arranged. I love how the song flows, the fast beat, the majority of sounds are coming from drums and piano. …

“Bleed” is the third track off of Meshuggah’s 2008 album Obzen. Technically I believe it is a single off the album but I’m not quite sure. I do know that the song kicks major butt and that they do in fact have a music video for it. So going …

I’m So Tired is a track by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Unlike the rest of the album, I’m So Tired is actually a very laid-back track, and as the name would imply, it has a very sleepy feel and tone to …

I think that this album really marks a come back from Limp Bizkit. When I listened to this album I was really surprised to find out that it was pretty good. The albums by this band that they recorded after 2001 were really boring from my point of view. …

This Erotic Lounge (Deluxe Edition) was borrowed from my friend the other day, as I wanted something sexy to listen to, and she recommended me to this CD.
It sounds kinky, but it’s not really, actually. The front cover is pretty interesting. It is a picture of a …

I must have listened to Lauren Wood’s Fallen single a million times since the movie Pretty Woman introduced me to it, and in my opinion it is peerless. Wood is an American singer-songwriter who began her career in the late —˜70s, formed a band, and shot to fame …

I’m Already There is a song by Lonestar. It reminds me of the many times when my husband was out on the road working in Washington DC with a crew that remodeled BP gas stations. He would call on Wednesday nights to talk to the kids and tell …

The Black Keys, a blues rock duo out of Ohio, has been releasing records since the early 2000’s, but truly broke through to mainstream success with the release of 2010’s “Brothers.” A good friend of mine, who’s gotten me into countless bands, turned me onto the Keys years back, …

Long way to go by Cassie is a song about how this girl is saying this guy has a long way to go before he can even date her. This song is another song I like by cassie because it’s about a girl making a guy wait because he …
